Rome has recently suffered conflagrations and other disasters, and Nero, hoping to divert the public wrath from his own misconduct, has encouraged the persecution of the growing sect of Christians.

Leah, the heroine, is a beautiful young woman, and one of the leading spirits of a band of Christians.
